Zhou Xiuyun’s calm and collected face finally cracked.
It was like a dam that had been sealed by billions of tons of flood. After cracking noises, the first shocking gap appeared.
“It’s—it’s hilarious.”
With a rigid face, she said, “I didn’t know that the legendary Black Wind King Li Yao, who suppressed the entire Empyreal Terminus Sector by himself and shouldered half of the empire of the True Human Beings, would be so smart!
“You know very well whether or not I have a glib tongue.
Li Yao said calmly, “I know that many people will try to rationalize or even sanctify the pain that is absolutely unavoidable when they are faced with it. It is the only way that can ease the pain that is worse than death.
“It is just like how many people surrender before they truly explore the boundless universe, admitting that they are insignificant and humble, in order to avoid the ultimate fear of vastness and eternity.
“But pain is pain after all, and fear is still fear. It will not be diminished by your self-deception. The more you try to avoid it, the more it will linger in your veins like a curse and you will never be able to get away.
“shut up. I’ve learned the meaning of life and found eternal peace in the embrace of the gods. What pain? It’s hilarious!”
The corners of Zhou Xiuyun’s eyes were twitching, and her face was twisted. She gnashed her teeth. “You guys who are haunted by the extraterrestrial devils and drowned in the mud of emotions and desires are the real pain. We are saving all mankind and the universe!
“It’s useless. Stop fooling yourself. I can see your brain clearly.”
Li Yao sighed and said, “I sensed the black area hiding in the deepest part of your brain and the waves of pain and desperation that were released from there. What are they? Are they the remnants of the real Zhou Xiuyun? Are they the indelible imprints of the natural instincts of human beings? Although
your brain has been castrated and the black area is heavily sealed, I can still sense their existence and the deepest pain that you are enduring all the time.
“Tcould even hear a very weak voice, as if an arm was stretching out from the depths of the swamp, shouting ‘Save me, kill me’. Was that the voice of the real Zhou Xiuyun?
“In any case, everything should be over.
“You can finally get rid of ‘them’ and have a good night’s sleep. Your daughter will live in a new world that is completely different from this one. She will live a happier and freer life, including her offspring. Your genes will bloom like thousands of flowers. I guarantee it.
“Rest in peace, Zhou Xiuyun.”
Li Yao extended a finger and lightly tapped on Zhou Xiuyun’s forehead.
Zhou Xiuyun seemed to be attracted by an inexplicable force. Her eyes gradually turned blank, and every muscle and nerve on her face was relaxed.
A moment later, something seemed to have emerged from the deepest part of her brain and regained control over her body for the first time in decades, Real and vivid emotions appeared on her face.
Her facial features were all scrunched up. Tears were flowing down her face, while she was screaming miserably, as if the pain that had been suppressed for almost a hundred years was bursting out at this moment.
Pure flames spread out from Li Yao’s fingertip and enveloped Zhou Xiuyun.
She was dancing like a butterfly that was on fire. As the flames grew more and more intense, the pain was gradually relieved. Having lost the shackles of her body, her remaining soul was finally freed. She flew to the sky in a cluster of pure white ash and dispersed into ripples.
In the end, all that was left was a long sigh, telling her how relieved and happy she was.
Li Yao watched Zhou Xiuyun vanish into thin air in a daze. There was a hint of pity on his face, but the volcano-like fury in his eyes did not diminish at all.
Zhou Xiuyun was right about one thing.
She, Xia Yu, and Qiu Yuanjia were merely insignificant characters and cells of the ‘deities’.
Before he entered the Sanctuary Alliance, Li Yao had thought that the ‘deities’ that the people of the Sanctuary Alliance referred to were the Pangu Clan, which had been hibernating for hundreds of thousands of years. They were the objects that needed to be awakened.
But right now, he had a vague feeling that the so-called ‘deities’ were not just the sleeping Pangu Clan but a different, more specific existence that was responsible for the transformation of the Sanctuary into what it was today!
For the ‘cells’ such as Zhou Xiuyun, Xia Yu, and Qiu Yuanjia, it was useless no matter how many of them were eliminated. The so-called ‘deities’ could reproduce or produce more ‘cells’ easily.
Li Yao swore that he would find the ‘god’ behind the scenes and stuff its head into its ass!
“This is… Master?”
The ‘heretical children’ looked at Li Yao in fear.

After Li Yao killed Qiu Yuanjia, Xia Yuren, and Zhou Xiuyun without any hesitation, he had become a ‘master’ in the eyes of the teenagers!
“Are—are you alright?”
Chu Zhiyun looked at him worriedly. There was no telling whether he was worried about Li Yao’s soul or Tangka’s body. He observed Li Yao’s expression for a long time and asked carefully, “You’ve eliminated so many purifiers and cut open dozens of cabin walls and decks. Even Dean Xia, the commander
of the purifiers, and the manager of the Devil’s Child Project have been killed by you. Are you sure that you can hold on?”
“Well…”
Li Yao nodded. “Good question. It’s true that I can’t hold on any longer. Oops!”
He was resolute and decisive. Without any hesitation, he fell to the ground and opened his arms and legs. He was cramping and foaming at the mouth. There was not the slightest hint of blood on his body.
“What—what the hell?”
Chu Zhiyun was dumbfounded. He did not expect Li Yao to lie down so easily. “What happened to you?”
“Tm exhausted.”
Li Yao was lying on the ground with his arms and legs stretched out. He couldn’t even move his fingers, but his face was calm. He said casually, “Didn’t you hear what Zhou Xiuyun said just now? The super long-distance projection of my soul consumed a lot of soul power and spiritual energy. Even if I
lurked inside Tangka’s body, there would still be a certain risk, not to mention the high-intensity battles where I controlled his body. How could my soul not be exhausted and my spiritual energy not be exhausted?
“So, I’m exhausted. Oh, I’m so tired. I can’t even blink. I’m so tired.”
“How—how—how did this happen?”
Chu Zhiyun and the ‘heretical children’ found it hard to believe. “You were so confident three seconds ago. How did you become like this? You seem to have collapsed!”
“This is the unique superpower of an unparalleled expert such as myself.
Li Yao continued calmly, “If it were an ordinary so-called ‘expert’, they would certainly be affected by their injuries and fatigue. They would show signs of weakness in battle, which would affect their combat skills.
“As for me, a super expert who stood at the peak of the evolution of mankind and could slay gods and devils with ease, I was able to suppress all my injuries and fatigue with my amazing body control ability and my iron-like willpower. I did not leak even the tiniest bit of my strength in the battle so that
the enemy would have the desperation that I would never be injured or tired. Only after I had completely defeated my opponent would the suppressed injuries, fatigue, and exhaustion burst out and completely crush me.
“Maybe you still can’t understand the formidability of this ability, but it doesn’t matter. In the first place, it’s not something that just anyone can understand. Aiya, I’m so uncomfortable. I’m about to suffocate. I’m so tired, so uncomfortable!”
“Since you are already so weak, don’t be ‘indifferent’ when you talk, alright?”
Chu Zhiyun was almost in tears. “What should we do now? We’ve only cleared the control center. There are still a lot of purifiers cruising outside. Besides, there are camps of the purifiers outside the floating fortress. There must be other legions and fleets further away!”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m just exhausted for now. After resting for twenty minutes, my soul will be condensed again, and my spiritual energy will be refilled again. Of course, it will be best if you can help me find some strengthening drugs and high-nutrition drugs. I believe that there must be such ‘Energy
Supplier’ in the comer of the control center.”
Li Yao said, “As for the soldiers outside and the legions further away, we don’t need to worry about them. When we were fighting Zhou Xiuyun just now, one of my clones had already hacked into the control system of the floating fortress, cracked the defense barrier inside the mainframe crystal processor,
and tampered with the highest permissions. In other words, the floating fortress now belongs to us!
“Ican observe the movements of all the soldiers inside the floating fortress at my will and close the main channels and cabins, locking them inside. They are all ‘soldiers’ and ‘worker bees’ who lack the basic logical thinking ability. Now that their leader is dead, they cannot attack the control center
automatically without clear orders.
“But, but… This is my limit. I cannot protect you all the way to the safe shelter. You will have to walk on your own.
“Chu Zhiyun, from this moment on, you are the new leader of the ‘heretical children’.
“Do you see the green door over there? If my senses are correct, Little Tiantian should be behind us. Let’s rescue her first.”
“Then, I will retrieve the permissions to open the door of all the cells of the ‘devil children’ and guide you to them. You can rescue as many people as you want!
“Thave detected that there is a fairly large hangar inside the floating fortress that is carrying a lot of armed shuttles, crystal tanks, and light carriers. You must’ve all learned the basic driving skills. When the time comes, find a few vehicles that are simple in structure and reliable.
“Twill find an opportunity to put you on the ground and give you the coordinates and methods to open the shelters. As long as you reach the no man’s land in time and enter the shelters, you will have a chance to escape!
